Tobacco Addictions
Many
people enjoy tobacco, but most people also know the dangers of tobacco use marked
number of peoples die every day from tobacco use.
More
than four out of five people want to quit. Sadly, quitting is not easy.
Why is quitting so hard?
Quitting
is hard because people get addicted to nicotine. Nicotine is a very addictive
drug found in tobacco.
Within
seven seconds of inhaling a cigarette, nicotine reaches the brain. Nicotine
affects your brain similarly to cocaine. This means each time you take a puff,
you get a quick dose of an addictive chemical. This makes it hard to stop.
Because
it is addictive, when you quit tobacco, you begin to have withdrawal symptoms.
For example, when you quit you might feel irritable, tired or fidgety. You may
have cravings to smoke, have a hard time focusing or you might feel down. These
are normal symptoms. The good news is these symptoms are temporary, and there
are safe medications to help ease these symptoms. This makes quitting much
easier. People who use medications double their chances of quitting for good!
It
might seem difficult, but nearly 50 million adults have quit tobacco. If they
can do it, you can too!
